About Me

I'm the working mother of a bunch of kids. I cook not only because I have to, but because I like to - experiment, create and have fun. Every holiday, birthday, or event, they all come home for mom's cooking. Since food is what we use to bring us together, I'm hoping some of my tips, techniques and misadventures can help you in the kitchen, too.

Every now and then you just need something for dinner that's easy. Life is busy and there's always plenty to do. When the price is right, I like to get some cubed steaks and put them on to cook slow while potatoes are boiling for mashed. That way I can tend to other chores while dinner cooks.

I have tried cooking cubed steaks all kinds of ways - fried, broiled, baked, battered, but the best method I have come up with is quickly seared with spices and then simmered in gravy. This is a simple dinner that any beginner cook can do.
